This is a great weekend for festivals of all sorts, as well as some mind-bending modern dance.

The 5th Annual FLOW Northside Arts Crawl takes place Saturday from 3PM to 8PM along West Broadway. Highlights include: Asian Dance and storytelling, performances by the Black Storytellers Alliance, live music, live music, theater and spoken word. (My favorite – recognition ceremony for Northside High School graduates who are going to college.)

Lumberjack Days in Stillwater has got all sorts of old-time fun: amateur talent contests, ice cream socials, a petting zoo and even a treasure hunt.

Minneapolis Acquatennial continues through this weekend, with world wakesurfing championships, the coronation of the Queen of the Lakes, fireworks, and special events at the Bakken museum featuring scientific discoveries by inventors young and old.
